I think Lady Rosesong forgot about the candle. :P Well, it did occur to me that if Christine were wearing a shawl and carrying a candle, she would (a) be much more likely to drop the candle when surprised rather than letting the shawl fall off her shoulders, and (b) would be in some danger of having the shawl catch the candle if she were clutching it together and suddenly let go (the only mechanism I can envisage for a shawl suddenly falling off like that)!
